On this episode of Selling the Dream, business consultants Doug Howard and Kathi Fleck are joined by special guest Matthew Helminiak. They discuss Matt’s experience selling his business, the different paths to selling a business, from private equity to roll-ups, why early preparation is key to a smooth exit, how to navigate the emotional rollercoaster of deal-making and finding the right advisors to guide you through the process.

Matt is a versatile executive with experience leading high-performance teams and operations. He began his career by transforming a family insulation business with a single location into a recession-proof company with operations in over 14 states. Matt also served as the Commissioner of Labor & Industry for the Maryland Department of Labor, where he spearheaded process improvements and executed legislative policy, and is a Certified Senior Professional in Human Resources (SPHR).
